Cancer Preventing Foods

I have been studying about cancer prevention today and thought it might be useful to provide a list of foods which are seen as good for cancer prevention:

Tomatoes
Green leafy veg
Green veg (peas, green peppers, broccoli)
Carrots
Berries
Melon
Cauliflower
Onion
Garlic
Mushrooms
Beans especially soya
Tuna Fish
Wholegrain bread and cereals

It is also useful to reduce the amount of red meat, exercise regularly, keep a healthy body weight, have a low salt intake, do not drink much alcohol and do not have too much fat in the diet.

Hi,
I enjoyed your nice post. Thanks for sharing these cancer preventing foods with us. It is helpful information to us all. My grandma died of colon cancer and it is just a terrible way to die. I hope someday they find a cure for cancer.

I have lost several relatives this way too and I agree that it is one of the worst ways to die.

thanks for the list! really helpful..:) We better start eating eating healthy and eating lots of anti cancer food. I heard that broccoli sprouts are supposed to be really healthy?

As far as I understand it, sprouts are very healthy and as broccoli is then it is likely that broccoli sporouts are. However, I have seen no scientific evidence for this. But if you enjoy them then why not have them!
